Massage Therapy in Woodbridge & Vaughan

Clinical massage that treats the cause

There is a difference between a spa hour and clinical massage therapy, and your shoulders know it. Our Registered Massage Therapists work on the tension patterns, overworked muscles and stress held in the body, in warm, quiet, private rooms where the rest of the day is set aside for an hour.

Every treatment starts with a brief assessment and ends with you knowing what your body was holding, and how to hold less of it.

What patients book massage therapy for

Neck and shoulder tension from desk work, low back pain, tension headaches, sports and training strain, recovery from injury alongside physiotherapy or chiropractic care, pregnancy discomfort and the general tightness that builds up under stress.

Find the right style for your body

Your RMT adjusts pressure and technique to your goals after a short assessment. This is your hour, not a set menu.

Deep tissue and therapeutic massage

Deep tissue work focuses on long-held knots and tight bands of muscle. Therapeutic massage supports injury recovery and chronic tension, and can be timed around your physiotherapy or chiropractic visits so each treatment supports the others.

Relaxation and hot stone massage

Relaxation massage is for the weeks when your nervous system needs the volume turned down. Hot stone massage uses gentle warmth to help muscles soften before deeper work.

Prenatal massage

Prenatal massage uses supportive positioning that stays comfortable at each stage of pregnancy. Tell us how far along you are when you book so the room is prepared for you.

What happens during your massage

Before treatment

Your Registered Massage Therapist asks about your health history, current concerns and any areas to avoid, and agrees a plan with you before the session begins.

During treatment

You undress only to your comfort level and stay covered with a sheet throughout, with only the area being treated uncovered. Pressure is adjusted to your preference, and you can ask your therapist to change technique or stop at any time.

After treatment

Your RMT may suggest stretches, heat or simple changes to posture and activity. Drink some water, move gently and give yourself a restful night after deeper work; mild soreness for a day or two is normal after a therapeutic session.

Massage therapy fees and coverage

Session lengths and prices

Sessions are $75 for 30 minutes, $125 for 60 minutes and $170 for 90 minutes. Massage therapy from a Registered Massage Therapist is HST-exempt, so the fee you see is the fee you pay.

Insurance, receipts and tax

Direct billing to your insurer may be available, and a receipt is issued after every visit for your plan or Health Spending Account. RMT receipts can also count toward the medical expense tax credit.

One plan inside one clinic

Massage here connects with your physiotherapy, chiropractic and acupuncture care when you are recovering from an injury: one clinic, one record and one team working in the same direction. AuraWell Health is at 4600 Hwy 7, Unit 105 in Woodbridge, near Pine Valley Drive, with free parking at the door. All visits are by appointment.

Choosing the right massage

Your Registered Massage Therapist starts with a short health history and asks about your goals, then chooses techniques such as therapeutic, deep tissue or prenatal massage. You can ask for more or less pressure at any time.

Massage as part of a treatment plan

Massage therapy often supports physiotherapy or chiropractic care after an injury, or helps with tension from desk work and stress. With your consent, your RMT can coordinate with the rest of your care team.

After your massage

Drink water, move gently and expect some tenderness for a day after deeper work. Tell your therapist at your next visit how you felt, so the plan can be adjusted.
